Correct Answer: Unsaturation in oil


Solution : The correct option is Unsaturation in oil.

The iodine value is a method of estimating the degree of unsaturation in oils and fats. A higher iodine value suggests a higher amount of unsaturation, which means the fatty acids have more double bonds between carbon atoms. This information is critical in establishing the oil's oxidation susceptibility, which can impact its shelf life and nutritional quality.
